Hello I hope you dont all get bored with this but...

first car was a little black Ford Ka...followed by a Rover 100 then a 1.2 Clio.

Then for my 18th birthday i bought a orange 206 Xsi


about one year later i got the trackday bug so sold the 206 a bought a 1992 106 xsi with a Saxo VTS 1.6 16v engine... this was excellent fun but i ended up spending silly money on brakes and suspension

this car also got me hooked on santa pod..after a few attempts this car got a 14.6 1/4 from a 125bhp engine

a daily hack was also required so a trusty old 306 diesel done the trick


after about another year i got myself a Ford Racing Puma for my 20th Birthday



i had the FRP for around 8 months but it made me skint so it had to go and was replaced with another 106...this time a 16v Rallye, had a excellent time at Cadwell Park with this



Another sensible car was required and really enjoyed the FRP...so got a Standard 1.7 Puma that i still own.


Then a few weeks back i found a local Standard S1 rallye in need of some TLC and could not help myself.


Im coming up to 22 in October and will be in the Market for a Clio 182/interga/VX220/Lotus Elise what should i go for

Hopefully your not all asleep by now

Cheers Chris

Blind spot? Blind spot? Were you looking behind when you rolled forward into that pillar?

Haha yeah i suppose i could have thought that through a little more.

Well, the blind spot was the pillar between my windscreen and side window so i didnt see the concrete pillar, all i saw was the exit sign and no cars around me so i pulled away diagonally right looking left for cars coming towards the exit.

From the time it took to pull away glance left and back infront of me again the pillar was already there biggrin

Haha im not enjoying the fact that an '06 plate car still has a tape player inside it, can u even buy tapes anymore?! Hopefully the garage should ring me today and i can have her back.

Dont worry about the tape thing. 06/07 Impreza's still come with tape players!

Great taste (from a fellow Puma owner)! I also love Rallyes (was going to get one after owning a 205 XS). Look what's happened to Peugeot now - big, guppy fish-mouthed blobs.

3rd- Another Toyota MRS import (now i discovered how to use a camera laugh) this caught my eye and i had to have it, picked it up Christmas eve...a long drive back from Scotland.








part ex'd it for my current toy at 23.
